    Fun, thank you! (Another earworm alert for sure… I think this should be a tag!) 32A was my favorite clue. FYI in 19D IMO it should be "stationery".

      Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it! Good catch, I've fixed that :)

      Good puzzle, thanks. I liked 32A, 37A, 27D

        Thank you, I was pretty happy with 37A!
